iPhoto Name Project

1. Upload your slideshow as a movie to your blog posting. [If you have trouble with this, check to see that you exported it in the correct format.]

2. List the search terms (words) that you used to find images (for the letters of your name and the images that describe you) and why?

I took all of the pictures for the letters of my name, but I found about five pictures to describe myself on the internet. The terms I used to find these photos were: Blackhawks, Chicago Bears, ND football, White Sox, and Kane and Toews.

3. What skills did you use/learn in this project?

I used iPhoto for the first time in this project. I cited some of my pictures in MLA Format and got the music for my video from my iTunes.

4. Describe how you might use these skills and apply them to a real-world situation.

I could use these skills to promote my cause to something or use it as a way to get people interested in whatever it is that I am persuading them to do. Using iPhoto is a little more exciting than using PowerPoint. 

5. This was a more creative project than our first 2. Did you prefer it or the more cut and dry assignments in Word and Excel?

This project was a little more challenging that the other two and required more work. However the end result was more rewarding, so the projects evened out because of that. I don't really have a preference between the two.

6. How did your project use the transformative property of borrowed images, music, and information to comply with the Copyright Law of 1976? [...not just that you cited the information - citing is not enough...tell me how you transformed what you've taken into something new, etc., How did you transform the music, information, images, etc.?

I transformed the images I used by using them to describe me and what I enjoy, so I added value to them. I basically did the same thing for the music too. Mama kin by Aerosmith is a song that I enjoy listening to, so it also helped to describe me, therefore adding value to it.
